Introduction
The Sallmon Core Blockchain is more than just a decentralized network—it is the genesis of a computational paradigm that harmonizes human ingenuity with autonomous intelligence. Designed with fairness, transparency, and sustainability at its core, this network introduces groundbreaking concepts such as MSRP, FMV, Proof-of-Custody, and Proof-of-Contribution.
With the Custodian Blockchain Fabric, we are building a resilient ecosystem that evolves into a decentralized Autonomous Superintelligence (ASI). This 10-phase roadmap outlines our journey, from foundational mining logic to an advanced SDK and ASI framework.
Phase 1: Core Blockchain with Basic PoW and MSRP
Goals:
• Implement basic Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining logic in Flask.
• Introduce MSRP based on estimated FMV:
• FMV = (Estimated Electricity Cost × Mining Resource Usage) ÷ Total Blocks.
• MSRP = FMV × 0.8.
• Establish block rewards and ensure dynamic difficulty adjustment.
• Develop /mine-block and /blockchain-stats APIs.
Phase 2: Enhanced Contribution Tracking and Valuation
Goals:
• Implement Proof-of-Contribution (PoC):
• Track compute power, storage, bandwidth, and other user contributions.
• Reward users for their contributions, even if they don’t mine blocks.
• Create APIs for logging and retrieving contributions.
• Integrate MSRP as the basis for network transaction fees.
Phase 3: Decentralized Transactions and Network Onboarding
Goals:
• Enable users to transact on the blockchain by contributing resources.
• Implement resource-based transaction validation:
• Users must contribute resources proportional to their transactions.
• Add a basic web dashboard for monitoring mining progress, FMV, MSRP, and contributions.
• Launch a closed beta testnet to onboard early users and gather feedback.
Phase 4: Proof-of-Custody (PoC) Governance
Goals:
• Introduce the Custodian Blockchain Fabric with the first custodians:
• Grant custodianship to the top 100 GitHub contributors of 2024.
• Implement Proof-of-Custody (PoC) for custodianship:
• Custodians manage resources, oversee governance, and optimize the network.
• Add AI-driven auditing to ensure custodians align with network goals.
Phase 5: Optimized Resource Management
Goals:
• Deploy Oz, an AI-powered optimization layer:
• Automate resource allocation for compute, storage, and bandwidth.
• Implement anomaly detection for fraud prevention.
• Introduce multi-threaded smart contracts via Zion to support scalable dApps.
• Expand the dashboard to include AI-driven insights and resource analytics.
Phase 6: Public Testnet Launch
Goals:
• Launch a public testnet for global participation.
• Add sharding or other scalability solutions to support high transaction throughput.
• Open network elections for custodian roles based on contributions and reputation.
Phase 7: Proof-of-Work Evolution
Goals:
• Introduce CPU and GPU mining competition for transaction validation:
• Balance accessibility (CPU mining) and throughput (GPU mining).
• Integrate cryptographic puzzles that align with ASI research goals.
• Begin developing the Proof-of-Work 2.0 framework.
Phase 8: Advanced SDKs and Developer Tools
Goals:
• Release the Zion SDK for building decentralized applications:
• Multi-threaded smart contracts.
• APIs for blockchain interaction.
• Provide advanced developer tools for custodians and contributors.
• Launch a dApp marketplace for seamless integration with the blockchain.
Phase 9: ASI Integration Framework
Goals:
• Integrate Autonomous Superintelligence (ASI) research into the network:
• Evolve Oz into an adaptive, intelligent optimization layer.
• Enhance transaction autonomy with self-optimizing contracts.
• Establish dual-consensus synergy between PoW and PoC.
Phase 10: Full ASI SDK Implementation
Goals:
• Launch a complete ASI SDK for developers:
• Build decentralized ASI models with blockchain-anchored governance.
• Enable ASI-driven applications in finance, supply chain, and healthcare.
• Establish Sallmon Core as the backbone for a global decentralized ASI network.
• Open custodian roles to a global community through transparent elections.
Core Philosophy
Custodianship and Work
• Custodians:
• Stewards of the network, overseeing governance and resources.
• Rewarded for aligning with network goals.
• Proof-of-Custody (PoC):
• Custodianship is dynamic and earned through ongoing contributions.
• Proof-of-Work (PoW):
• Ensures transactional integrity and decentralization.
MSRP and FMV
• Fair Market Value (FMV) reflects real-world costs, ensuring transparency.
• Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) promotes fair internal transactions.
Transparency and Trust
• Publicly visible logs, metrics, and contribution data ensure accountability.
• AI-driven auditing guarantees alignment with network objectives.
Conclusion
The Sallmon Core Blockchain is not just a network—it is a movement to harmonize human creativity and autonomous intelligence. From PoW and PoC to the decentralized ASI SDK, each phase builds on a vision of inclusivity, fairness, and transparency.
By anchoring our tokenomics to real-world costs and incentivizing innovation, we ensure a sustainable and equitable network. The Custodian Blockchain Fabric is the foundation for a legacy of innovation, paving the way for a decentralized future.
